Comtech BUC-5000 L band to Ku Band Block Up Converter

Description

Comtech BUC-5000 L band to Ku Band Block Up Converter provides non-inverting frequency conversion between L-Band and Ku Band RF frequencies. The Comtech BUC-5000 L band to Ku Band Block Up Converter features a drop down front panel providing access to two “hot swappable” frequency conversion modules, this unit offers either a mix of conversion functionality or 1:1 redundant system operation.

Comtech BUC-5000 L band to Ku Band Block Up Converter Key Features:

• Meets or exceeds IESS-308/309
• Facilitates 188-164A system compliance
• Low phase noise
• Powerful M&C support
• Ethernet/Telnet/SNMP
• EIA-232/485
• Flexible configuration
• RF Band switching in minimal time without requiring tools
• Available 1:1 redundancy in a 1RU chassis

Applications
The flexibility of the MBT-5000 makes it ideally suited for:

• Earth stations where L-Band IF products are being integrated into a 70/140 MHz IF infrastructure
• Reconfigurable Multi-Band requirements that are typically found in transportable / flyaway type installations

Comtech Block Up Converter (BUC-5000)
The BUC-5000 field interchangeable module translates an L-Band input frequency block up to the band specific RF output frequency block (C, X, Ku, or Ka-Band).

Comtech Block Down Converter (BDC-5000)
The BDC-5000 field interchangeable module translates a band specific input frequency block (C, X, Ku, or Ka) from the LNA down to the corresponding L-Band frequency block.
